TECHNICAL FIELD

Example embodiments of the present invention relate in general to asystem and method for user security authentication in an Internetenvironment and more specifically to a system and method for usersecurity authentication in an Internet environment, in which the usermay generate encoded member authentication data by combining a memberID, a password, and a unique code value of a security code selectionmodule that are selected when the user has signed up for membership toany web service provider system, thus increasing code complexity in astage at which the web service provider system is accessed as well assimply enhancing security.

RELATED ART

In general, the Internet is composed of computers, which are separatedfrom and communicate to each other based on a transmission controlprotocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP), and networks including thecomputers. A variety of information is shared between different networksover the Internet.

In the early stage, the Internet provided services such as an electronicmail, a gopher, a telnet, a file transfer protocol (FTP), which did notwidely spread due to limited services that were based on text.

However, the Internet rapidly spread with development of a new Internetservice technology that is called the World Wide Web (hereinafter,referred to as the web).

The web may provide various forms of information (for example, acharacter, an image, a video, a voice, etc.) based on a communicationprotocol called hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and a language suchas hypertext markup language (HTML).

In addition, at an initial stage, the web provided hypertext that wassimply associated with character information, using a hyperlinktechnique that allowed direct movement from one piece of information toanother piece of information, but, presently, implements hypermedia thatassociates an image, a video, and a voice according to a request ofmultimedia information from a user.

Accordingly, the number of networks connected to, and using, theInternet rapidly increases, thus increasing the range and content ofinformation included in the Internet.

In such an Internet environment, several web services that are typicallyprovided, for example, an electronic transaction, are applied over theInternet using the above-described advantages. Furthermore, new types ofweb services are currently being developed.

Here, in such an Internet environment, any web service provider systemoperates a specific user identification (member ID and password) andauthentication means to perform management and security by a user.Accordingly, in order to use the web service provider system, specificidentification information is assigned to each user, and an individualauthentication procedure is performed on the identification informationwhenever the web service provider system is accessed.

In conventional user identification and authentication in an Internetenvironment, in order to protect a random character input attemptthrough a specific program for the purpose of account takeover, a longcharacter string is generated to increase complexity to provideprotection against a security threat such as the account takeover.However, as the character string code is longer, the user has difficultyin remembering the code.

The plurality of code selection display means may include at least oneof a number, a character, a figure, an image, a color, and a keyword ora combination thereof (see FIGS. 4 to 7).

The member authentication information DB 300 functions to build adatabase including member information of users who have signed up formembership and member authentication data for authenticating themembership for each member to receive the web service provided by theweb server 200.

The member authentication information DB 300 may be implemented for thepurpose of the present invention, using a relational database managementsystem (RDBMS), such as Oracle, Infomix, Sybase, and DB2, and anobject-oriented database management system (OODBMS), such as Gemstone,Orion, and O2, and configured to have a field suitable for accomplishingits function.

The member authentication server 400 is connected with the web server200 through a wired/wireless communication means and functions toreceive the encoded member authentication data from the user terminal100-1 to 100-N through the web server 200, decode the received encodedmember authentication data, and analytically compare the decoded memberauthentication data with the member authentication data stored in themember authentication information DB 300 to determine whether acorresponding user is authenticated as a member.

When a plurality of code selection display means are selected by theuser in the security code selection module of the member authenticationmeans, the member authentication server 400 may compare an order ofselecting the code selection display means in the member authenticationdata transmitted from the user terminal 100-1 to 100-N and an order ofselecting code selection display means in the member authentication datastored in the member authentication information DB 300 to determinewhether the user is authenticated as a member.

Additionally, the web server 200 may provide a service such that apredetermined delimiter character (for example, a special character) isadditionally inserted into the member authentication data input throughthe member authentication means at predetermined intervals to beencoded, and the member authentication server 400 may provide a servicesuch that the predetermined delimiter character is additionally insertedinto the member authentication data previously stored in the memberauthentication information DB 300 at the predetermined intervals to beupdated.

A method of user security authentication in an Internet environmentaccording to an embodiment of the present invention will be described indetail below.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of user securityauthentication in an Internet environment according to an embodiment ofthe present invention, FIG. 3 is a view showing a member login screenfor accessing a web service provider system that is applied in anembodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4 to 7 are views showingvarious examples of a code selection display means in a security codeselection module that is applied to an embodiment of the presentinvention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, in a method of user security authenticationin an Internet environment according to an embodiment of the presentinvention, first, a user accesses a specific webpage provided by the webserver 200 of any web service provider system through the user terminal100-1 to 100-N and signs up for membership.

In this case, the user selects at least one of a plurality of codeselection display means of the security code selection module that isprovided by the web server 200 and allows the selected code selectiondisplay means to be stored in the member authentication information DB300 in addition to a member ID and a password.

Next, when the user requests a web service from the web server 200through the user terminal 100-1 to 100-N (S100), the web server 200transmits a member authentication means to a webpage of the userterminal 100-1 to 100-N in response to a web service request in S100(S200).

In this case, the member authentication means may include a member ID, apassword, and a security code selection module, as shown in FIG. 3, andthe security code selection module may include a plurality of codeselection display means having respective encoded unique code values andis displayed on the web page of the user terminal 100-1 to 100-N (seeFIGS. 4 to 7).

In addition, the security code selection module may be configured as asingle-dimensional (one-dimensional) or multidimensional (two, three, orfour-dimensional) table, and the plurality of code selection displaymeans may be arranged on the table to be selected by a user.

Further, the plurality of code selection display means may include atleast one of a number, a character, a figure, an image, a color, and akeyword or a combination thereof as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7.

When the plurality of code selection display means are displayed on thewebpage of the user terminal 100-1 to 100-N, the web server 200 mayprovide a service such that the plurality of code selection displaymeans are displayed in a random order of arrangement.

Subsequently, the user terminal 100-1 to 100-N transmits encoded memberauthentication data using the member authentication means transmitted inS200 to the web server 200 (S300).

In this case, the member authentication data transmitted from the userterminal 100-1 to 100-N includes data encoded by combining a member ID,a password and a unique code value of at least one code selectiondisplay means selected among the plurality of code selection displaymeans in the security code selection module.

Next, the member authentication server 400 receives the encoded memberauthentication data transmitted in S300, decodes the received encodedmember authentication data, and analytically compares the decoded memberauthentication data with member authentication data previously stored ina separate member authentication information DB 300 to determine whethera corresponding user is authenticated as a member (S400).

When a plurality of code selection display means are selected by theuser in the security code selection module of the member authenticationmeans in S300, the member authentication server 400 may compare an orderof selecting the code selection display means in the memberauthentication data transmitted from the user terminal 100-1 to 100-Nand an order of selecting code selection display means in the memberauthentication data stored in the member authentication information DB300 to determine whether the user is authenticated as a member.

That is, when a result of the comparison is that the order of selectingthe code selection display means transmitted from the user terminal100-1 to 100-N is the same as the order of selecting the code selectiondisplay means stored in the member authentication information DB 300,the member authentication server 400 authenticates the user as a member.

Subsequently, when a result of the determination in S400 is that theuser is authenticated as a member because the decoded memberauthentication data is the same as the member authentication datapreviously stored in the member authentication information DB 300, theweb server 200 provides the web service to the user terminal 100-1 to100-N (S500).

Additionally, after S300, the method may further include providing, bythe web server 200, a service such that a predetermined delimitercharacter (for example, a special character) is additionally insertedinto the member authentication data input through the memberauthentication means at predetermined intervals to be encoded.Preferably, the member authentication server 400 may provide a servicesuch that the predetermined delimiter character is additionally insertedinto the member authentication data stored in the member authenticationinformation DB 300 at the predetermined intervals to be updated todetermine whether the member is authenticated as a member.

The method of user security authentication in an Internet environmentaccording to an embodiment of the present invention can also beimplemented as computer-readable codes on a computer-readable recordingmedium. The computer-readable recording medium is any data storagemedium that can store data which can be thereafter read by a computersystem.

Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a read-onlymemory (ROM), a random-access memory (RAM), a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, ahard disk, a floppy disk, a mobile storage device, a non-volatile memory(flash memory), and an optical data. storage device.

The computer-readable recording medium can also be distributed overcomputer systems connected through a computer communication network sothat the computer-readable code is stored and executed in a distributedfashion.

With the system and method for user security authentication in anInternet environment according to an embodiment of the presentinvention, a user can generate encoded member authentication data bycombining a member ID, a password, and a unique code value of a securitycode selection module that are selected when the user has signed up formembership to any web service provider system, thus increasing codecomplexity in an access stage at which the web service provider systemis accessed as well as simply enhancing security.
